In Response to Re: Duck the Bounty Hunter : Good man. in regards to weather its jealousy or not will have to reserve judgement until Milton Keynes, where depending on dates, which will be confirmed tomorrow, I will be attending!! Posted by LmfaoAllin
Nice one. I didn't know it was Milton Keynes - never been there - but I'll be in attendance too
In Response to Re: Duck the Bounty Hunter : Can we be best friends please? Posted by mrsduck
I wasn't sure at first as it took a long time for me to recover from my last best friend, Ruth age 8....and before any of you degenerates jump to conclusions I was also 8!!! I moved schools and she sat next to me on my first day and we were firm friends for the rest of our time there until her dad got a job in America and she was forever gone!!
But after careful deliberation and the rational that this, being an online friendship, will be accessible no matter where either of us move.....I accept ; )

Ah yes this rings a bell, one of the guys I play live with on sunday nights is Chinese and is back there atm, I remember him saying something about it and ways around it but tbh im not very good with all the technical stuff and kinda glazed over after 'firewall' : )
Never fear! I'm never going to China ~ do you know how much duck they eat there!?! Posted by mrsduck
It was a bit of an eye-opener, the last time I was in Hong Kong, walking down side streets and seeing all the ducks strung up by their necks outside the shop windows. Pretty disconcerting stuff.
rewind 25 years (my age) and they used to have them strung up on market stalls in Yorkshire nvm Hong Kong, along with pheasants (not people) and other roadkill.
good job I'm not old enough to remember or I'd be traumatised!
I've been reading Marcel Proust - Swann's Way and Stephenie Meyers - Twilight simultaneously which has actually been pretty fun and has drawn some interesting similarities! So can any of you guys correctly guess which Swan/n features in each of the following quotes ~ Charles Swann of Swann's Way or Isabella Swan of Twilight?
Extra points if you can say who is speaking to who!
Which Swan/n?
1 "Do you realise that your answer will have the effect...of making you less attractive in my eyes when I realise that you're not a person, that you are beneath everything in the world and incapable of raising yourself one inch higher?"
2 "I've never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it's much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that's probably because it's you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes."
Well Stephanie Meyer - from my limited knowledge of her work - is a poor writer, so I'm actually surprised she could be responsible for either of those.

Can't believe no one's read Twilight! Or seen the movies? Maybe I'm pitching to the wrong audience...are you lot more Prousty? Perhaps I need a middle ground?

This is a highbrow crowd, Ducky. If it ain't Dostoyevsky, it ain't down with the kids, you dig?

In Response to Re: Duck the Bounty Hunter : Have you read The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera? It's quite heavy stuff and quite anachronistic at times, but well worth it. Posted by Slipwater
In Response to Re: Duck the Bounty Hunter : No, I'll check it out! ~ It's not soppy is it?! Posted by mrsduck
No, not at all. It's a thinking reader's book... so, right up there with your Twilight series
It was translated from the original Czechoslovakian so it loses a little on the way (a bit like how the Japanese novel Battle Royale - fantastic story ripped off by The Hunger Games - falls flat on occasion) but it's a modern classic well worth picking up.

Looking forward to it
